"As in Lehane's books, there is violence -- this is a thriller -- and a parent's worst fear realized: the loss of a child. I would argue that his heightened realities work better on stage than film. ("Gone Baby Gone," the Ben Affleck-directed adaptation of that Lehane title, debuts Wednesday at the Chicago International Film Festival.) The Steep production -- in its wonderfully crammed storefront manner -- is both piquant and moony, like the fractured moments of a life. It is a combination that burrows deep into the psyche."

"So tightly-constructed is Lehane’s intricate narrative and so riveting his preternaturally-eloquent personnel that we never lose our way—or if we think we may have, we are happy to wait until we find it again...director Kevin Gladish and his stalwart cast...generate ensemble performance at its most exemplary."

"What's worse than murder?"

What we're willing to do for love, money, and, finally, redemption.

From the author of Mystic River and the company that brought you The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui and The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, Steep Theatre Company presents Dennis Lehane's Coronado.

Coronado follows three intertwining tales: A father and son searching for a missing girl and a stolen diamond, a psychiatrist and a patient having an illicit affair, and two lovers plotting a murder. Set in the Southwest, Coronado is a taut thriller that explores the dark side of America and the things we're willing to do for love, for money, and finally for redemption.

Also, be sure to join us in congratulating Steep Theatre on seven great years in Chicago theater. RESERVE YOUR TICKET to the 7th Anniversary Gala TODAY!
